WE Ergo Blue GTK/Xfce port. Original theme for Windows XP is to be found at http://gelosea.deviantart.com/art/Watercolor-Emico-Ergo-Blue-88545593
My thanks to Gelosea for allowing me to port the theme.
Archive contains GTK2 theme (using pixmap engine) and theme for bmpanel2 (not compatible with version 1). Xfce panel is themed too, but due to its limitations it doesn't look as nice as bmpanel2.
Archive also contains patch for pixmap engine to enable mouse-over for menubar items and making disabled images grayed (instead of that ugly "dot effect") and some enhancements for GtkStatusbar (no more blured resize grip on windows resizing, shadow is drawn all over the statusbar).
Then there is patch for Thunar file manager to get the location bar as in the screenshot (url entry is shown when the icon is clicked on).
Applying the patches is not a must, but recommended. If you don't patch thunar, comment marked line in xfce.rc (line 12).

Created metacity theme. You shouldn't use too big font for windows title or it will break (I use 8pt bold @96dpi, it is ok with max 12pt@96dpi)
----
Themed gnome panel, set your panel to 26px for it to look properly. Note that I did only little testing, bugs possible. As with xfce panel, tray can't look like that in bmpanel theme.
Minor tweaking of bmpanel2 theme. Now you will get that horizontal line like that on the left of the tray even if tray applet won't load (eg. due to presence of other tray manager).

You should be able to see what I mean if you look at the "Add..." and "Remove" buttons on the Background tab in the Appearance Preferences window. That's just an example.
Other than that it's a wonderful theme. Best I've found so far. Great work!

If you want me to theme gnome panel too, I might try.

No emerald, composite in X is piece of s*it, one big hack which makes everything you do slow.
But wait, you can always make it by yourself :-)

Anyway, great theme. The best and technically most complete Gtk pixmap theme I have seen so far. Though I find it to bright and I don't like the (excessive as usual, for GTK) spacing. And I'm not such a fan of Windows or other OSs theme ports, but I like this one. x-D
Thanks!

I really don't feel the people responsible for Metacity and Xfwm (and Gtk) had themers (as opposed to themeing) in mind, when they added themeing support. Why is the easy stuff (from a themers perspective) so hopelessly complicated and more interesting stuff impossible?
